Burnet Boundary Dispute Lawyers and Burnet Title Attorneys

Title and Boundary Dispute Law in Texas

There are times when neighbors will find themselves in a situation where how they've been using their land doesn't match up with the property boundaries that are on record. This can be a source of significant conflict, as one might expect.

Sometimes, neighbors will decide amongst themselves that the issue isn't worth fighting over, and will go on as they did before. This is particularly likely if the neighbors are on good terms, and the difference between their use of the land, and the actual property lines, is small (say, a few feet or less). This is an ideal situation, at least in the short term. It can, however, cause problems in the future - preventing a neighbor from enforcing the actual property lines, if they suddenly have a reason to do so.

In these cases, what often happens is that the owner of the property which is actually larger than he initially believed (due to the property line not being where he thought it was) wants to make use of the additional property, and eject his neighbor from it. The other neighbor, on the other hand, will want to keep using the land as before, to avoid having his property shrink.

In addition to the boundary disputes mentioned above, land owners and buyers in Burnet, Texas should also be aware of the possibility of a title dispute. Rather than being a disagreement over the exact boundaries between two pieces of land, a title dispute is a disagreement over who actually owns an entire plot of land. Uncertainty over ownership of land can come up more often than you might think, and is most often caused by a buyer's failure to correctly record a deed, or the accidental loss or destruction of a deed. Sometimes, however, these disputes can be more dishonest in origin: on occasion, unscrupulous sellers of land will attempt to sell the same parcel to more than one person. Obviously, once you've sold land to one person, you can't sell the same land to someone else, as you no longer own it. These tricksters know this, but are attempting to gain a large amount of money through the multiple sales. Once this is done, they usually attempt to flee the state or country before the buyers discovery they've been duped. This leaves it up to the buyers to figure out amongst themselves who owns the land.

Possible Outcomes of Boundary and Title Disputes in Burnet, Texas

One way to resolve boundary disputes is to simply re-draw the property lines to reflect what the neighbors thought they were all along. When this happens, nobody's situation changes, and it's generally considered a neutral result (causing no significant loss or gain to either party). This is often done if both of the neighbors knew about the actual property lines for many years, and didn't do anything about it. A court might also take this course of action if enforcing the property lines would impose a significant hardship on one of the parties, not outweighed by the overall benefits of doing so.

However, a court might also enforce the legal property boundaries, especially if failing to do so would place a significant burden on the owner of the encroached-upon land. If the owner of the encroaching land knew of the encroachment, and concealed it from his neighbor, this fact would also weigh heavily in favor of enforcing the legal property lines.

In Burnet, Texas courts have many options when it comes to resolving title disputes. However, these disputes are usually governed by some fairly complex (and old) legal principles. While they're generally built around policies that most people would find to be quite fair and reasonable, their application can be nearly impenetrable, even for some lawyers.

In general, the person who first recorded the deed at the appropriate government office will be the one who the court deems to own the land, if they didn't have any reason to know about the existence of the other deed, or other sale, or whatever else gave rise to the title dispute.

What Can A Burnet, Texas Attorney Do?

The legal problems that can come up in boundary and title disputes can get very complex. Given this fact, and the high stakes of such disputes, most people shouldn't approach these problems without good legal representation. It should therefore go without saying that the counsel of a qualified Burnet, Texas real estate attorney is essential in most of these disputes.

Our case will be on-going for quite some time, and I do believe we are in very good hands! I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND MR. B. TO ANYONE IN NEED OF A DILIGENT, INTELLIGENT, COMPASSIONATE ATTORNEY.
I am very grateful to LegalMatch for the services provided and was very pleased with the immediate responses I received from several attorneys. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICES AND FOLLOWUP.

09/16/2009Gregory A. went far and beyond being a lawyer. I have never been in trouble with the law before - needless to say I was concerned and scared about the unknown. He took time out of his schedule to reassure me that everything was going to be alright. Exactly what he said would happen, did. He supported me during the time before my case to get my driver's license (and I did). . . No one who, just considered me as a client would of done this. He represented me with professionalism, he was personable, he is a people person and was very easy to talk with. He didn't even mind when I would get worried and send him emails at 4:00 in the mornings. Thanks Greg for for everything

06/08/2007Mr. A. was excellent in all phases of our legal relationship. He was most understanding of my plight and came up with a perfect strategy to make sure my daughter was financially secure, but on the other hand, her mother was not able to take unfair advantage of me. He resolved my financial problem with the child enforcement agency, a situation in which they were taking money from me inappropriately. He made me feel secure and comfortable that this would be resolved in a fair and equitable manner. I would definitely retain Mr. A. again, and if any of my friends in that area need a lawyer would not hesitate to recommend him. Make sure you keep him as an attorney to be recommended through your service, because he definitely makes you look very good.

09/07/2007Mr. D. is friendly and knowledgeable. Evening phone consult was arranged. I wasn’t available until 9:30 and he made the time.
Very comfortable speaking to him. Felt able to address all my concerns. At-ease asking everything on my mind without fear of sounding trivial. Some was, but he showed interest and answered all of my questions. Even when I asked more than once!
Provided tools to move forward in a manner that will protect my job. Had I not called, I would have taken steps (while conforming to company policy) that may very well have eliminated chances of taking future legal action should I be terminated.

08/01/2007I had hoped to evaluate this lawyer upon conclusion of our business dealings and would therefore have had a better understanding of him and how he operates. But your insistence upon an "immediate" response from me in this regard precludes any hope of doing this. My evaluation is therefore based upon a very short period of time in my relations with him for me to be objective and focus upon specific details. In the short time that I have known and worked with him, he has been exemplary, objective in his approach, logical, knowledgeable, and a patient listener. I believe that he is capable of attaining our goal in my case.
